For restaurants, labor cost inflation and food costs are down. This is no time to allow complacency to set in, rather the time to ensure processes like #riskmanagement and #sourcing are aligned for improved cost performance and to digitize reporting by region, by category and by concept for real-time analysis of drivers of food and paper cost changes and % of #COGs at risk. #SCAPlanner #Supplychain https://lnkd.in/eFJvNMXu
